Hi, All,
Relatively new to the forum and the xs. Just completing a restoration of an 82 xs400 Seca. Starts and runs OK, although it will need a little carb tuning.
Problem is the charging system is not working. Have measured 4.9 ohms on the rotor and about 1.0 on
the 3 white field coil leads. Rotor is to spec, but field coil should be .5, if I rremember correctly. Anyway, get no voltage output from the generator. Test leads on battery with the engine running show just basic battery
voltage, not the 14 - 14.5 I'd expect. What do you all suggest as a next step?
Thanks, John
